History Main / AreWeThereYet

* In WesternAnimation/TheWackyAdventuresofRonaldMcDonald, Sundae asks this while the group is on their way to their campsite.

* In ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies 2'', after the zombified heroes ate just about everything in the universe, they decide to go back to Earth to find a way to make more food to satisfy their endless hunger. Along their journey, {{Spider-Man}} starts asking "So are we there yet?" while everyone else says "No." He continues asking until they finally get there, much to everyone's annoyance.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9332216/5/Sixteen-Years Sixteen Years]]'', Harry is forced to fly Sirius's old motorcycle to Hogwarts and the eleven-year-old he's traveling with keeps asking this.

** Also done in "The Man Who Came To Be Dinner".

* In ''Webcomic/SecondEmpire'', it is said by [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek]] [[GeneralFailure General Pturdd]] for the whole space trip from Skaro to Ziragalen. "Daleks are nothing if not patient," clearly doesn't apply to him.

-->And to all the children onboard this flight: on behalf of your parents, we are nearly there and we will be nearly there for the remainder of the flight. Thank you.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{JohnnyBravo}}'' Season 2 episode "Ape is Enough" has the following exchange:
-->(While on a boat traveling to the South Seas)
-->[[ManChild Johnny]]: Are we there yet?
-->Pops: (sounding annoyed) No.
-->Johnny: Are we there yet?
-->Pops: (more annoyed) No!
-->Johnny: [[RuleofThree Are we there yet?]]
-->Pops: SHUT UP!

* The software version of this is called polling. While there is generally no one around to bother, it is typically considered a resource wasteful method and is only appropriate when it would be more expensive to set up a fancier event system.

** Amy asks this in "The Time of Angels".
** A child asks this in "Smile", but as he's on a spaceship with no windows and has just woken up from suspended animation, the question is entirely appropriate.

* Amy asks this in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "The Time of Angels".

* In the ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' cartoon "Jibblies 2", Homestar saves his friends from the Rocoulm (the monster in the Horrible Painting in Strong Mad's Closet that's given everyone else "the jibblies") by offering to be his house guest "for all eternity". The cartoon ends with Homestar pestering the Rocoulm with questions like "So, is it eternity yet?"

* In "Tiger Family Trip" from ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'', Daniel asks this about halfway through his family's road trip to see Grandpere and then as the trip is almost over, he starts getting squirmy and asks "Are we there yet? Are we?"

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Franklin}}'' has a variant when Mr. Turtle whines "This car trip is sooooooo long! When will we get there?!" and Mrs. Turtle comments that that it's Franklin's job to say that. Also, Harriet gives an exasperated one straight in the ''Franklin's Magic Christmas'' special when she gets bored of the especially long car-ride to her and Franklin's grandparents on Faraway Farm. Later, a "We there yet?" is her way of revealing that she sneaked along on Franklin's secret attempt to ride a horse to Woodland.

* Natsu of ''Manga/FairyTail'' will often feebly asks "Are... we still... not... there... yet...?" whenever on any kind of transport, but in his case it's because he suffers from [[WeaksauceWeakness extreme motion sickness]] and can't wait to get out. He's once so out of it that he keeps asking even after they've arrived at destination.

** A while ago, UsefulNotes/McDonalds had a selection of Simpsons watches as toys for their happy meals. One of the watches consisted of Bart and Lisa doing this to a very notably annoyed Homer while he's driving.

* This happens in a commercial for [[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal Orlando]]'s ''The Simpsons'' Ride, where Bart and Lisa keep on asking "Are We There Yet?" over and over. Years earlier, the Simpsons advertised Ramada Inns, where they did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxFP-D3Mrxg the same thing]].
